ISO224: Can we just measure unipolar DC signals without losing 1/2 of the resolution?

Part Number: ISO224
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AMC1311

We are looking to use ISO224, but we need to measure unipolar DC signals. The IC has bipolar input/output and then we use a bipolar ADC (Delfino device). We only have unipolar input signals so we lose ½ of the resolution. The solution would be to add a negative offset so we can measure 0 to 24V input signals (-12V to +12V after the offset). Do you have any suggestion to accomplish this so we don’t have to reinvent the wheel?

Some requirements below (this is why the ISO224 was selected).

-needs to be pin compatible part for ISO7721D (in the small package, with a higher isolation voltage)

-we need 1000V working voltage

  • Hi Lauren,

    Unfortunately we don't have any collateral already in place that addresses this on the ADC side of things. The opamp team may have something that can assist however. 

    Another solution may be to use the AMC1311, which is intended for DC voltage measurements. It has a 0-2V input range and meets your requirements. There is a low and high grade (B) version of the device.
